Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller's high-quality build, excellent battery life, and comfortable grip. Many appreciate the customization options and the controller's overall feel and weight. However, customers are negative about the prevalence of stick drift issues reported by some users, as well as concerns about the durability of certain buttons and bumpers. The positive feedback on features like customization and feel is frequently offset by negative experiences with controller longevity.

    the controller it self is amazing with the ability of swapping out the sticks is amazing but i really wished it was bluetooth to IOS apple unfortunately it’s not , which sucks because there’s many games out there that are supporting controllers, but this didn’t made the cut which is fine but would be an amazing game breaking moment, in all its a awesome controller i haven’t got any problems just yet, & the game pass bonus is quite amazing it self, in all, awesome controller would be amazing with the bluetooth connections as it can be taken to huge levels, in all amazing -B.

    I got this on sale and it has been great so far. I havent had any problems. Maybe its because I dot play shooting games or games with a lot of fast movement going on , but I'm happy with my purchase.

    Definitely worth the extra money, between the programmable buttons, and different lengths for the analog sticks. Feels expensive too.

    This is definitely a great controller for anyone that plays video games! It will take a little while to get used to the extra buttons but when you get used to it there will be no going back.

    I like the controller overall, but for the price I would pass. Everything about this controller is great except for one of the main functions. It drifts! Series 1 the quality in the build lacked this series it’s the drift in the stick. I have heard from other gamers that it’s case by case but I have heard of more cases of them having drift too. I plan on finding another controller to replace this one at some point in time.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
